Although Jin Yong has set the background of many of his works, and even directly introduced some historical figures and historical events into it, most of the plots in martial arts stories are always fictional, and as long as they are made up, there will inevitably be loopholes, and there are many hard wounds in the book "Dragon Eight Heavens".
For example, the role of Xiao Yuanshan, thirty years ago, in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, he fought against more than twenty first-class masters in the Central Plains with the strength of one person, directly killing only four people on the other side, and the living people always recalled the scene of the day, and after thirty years, Xiao Yuanshan did not have the domineering spirit of the year, and as soon as he appeared on the scene, he was easily ignited by the sweeping monk, and it seemed that his martial arts had regressed.

For example, compared to the mystery of Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts regression, what is more curious is why he already has the Gaishi Divine Gong and still secretly learns Shaolin Martial Arts, if the pursuit becomes stronger, he can steal the martial arts of the Qiaoyao Sect, what is the hidden plot behind this?
First, the invincible Xiao Yuanshan in the world
What level was Xiao Yuanshan at that time? He and Murong Bo are the two behind-the-scenes black hands in the story, and the various tragedies in the book are caused by them, and Murong Bo recalls the scenes of that year, which is described in the book.
The original said: "In that year, Murong Bo fled from Yanmen Pass to Suzhou Yanziwu Sanhezhuang and hid for seven days in the cellar where the door was closed. In the past seven days, his whole body has trembled, and his heart has been terrified, and no matter how softly his wife comforts and explains it gently, the fear in his heart has never been reduced by a single cent. The flesh-and-blood scene outside the Wild Goose Gate made it difficult for him to sleep... He was still stiff, and it was difficult to take a step..."

It was equivalent to saying that the defeat of xiao Yuanshan by more than twenty masters in the Central Plains was only a symptom, and Murong Bo, who was hiding and watching the battle, did not dare to fight with Xiao Yuanshan at all.
However, this is not unusual, that "Yanmen Pass War" can not actually be said to be a "big war", more like Xiao Yuanshan's personal show, unilaterally crushed.
The original said: "The Liao people had their arms slanted, and without knowing what grappling technique they used, they grabbed the blades of our two brothers, followed by a stab and a slash, and killed them on the spot." Sometimes he flew off his horse, sometimes jumped back on horseback, and the rabbit rose and fell like a ghost. Yes, he was really like a devil incarnation, rushing to the east and killing one person; turning around in the west, killing another person. In just a few moments, eleven of our twenty-one people had died at his hands, and all eleven of them were martial arts masters. ”
The group of masters that Xiao Feng later faced in the Battle of Juxian Zhuang would not be stronger than the Zhongyuan Qunxiong in Yanmen Pass that year, after all, there were Xuan Ci and Wang Jiantong here, as well as Wang Weiyi and Heyun Daochang, who were also regarded as first-class masters, and Xiao Yuanshan's battle was full of gold.

Thirty years later, Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan were between Bo Zhong, which was equivalent to saying that Murong Bo had made progress, and Xiao Yuanshan, who was once invincible in the world, had retreated.
2. The Shaolin Faction and the Runaway Faction
If Xiao Yuanshan was to improve his martial arts, it was obvious that the martial arts of the Qiaoyao Sect were more easy to learn, which could be seen from Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu.
That Northern Meditation Divine Gong can allow users to easily absorb the internal strength of others, Ling Bo micro-steps can make people move quickly, the small phaseless function will prompt the world's martial arts, the life and death charms can hurt people invisibly, and the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand can dissolve the world's martial arts, which move is not exquisite? And Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu learned these moves without effort, and Xiao Yuanshan, who was equally talented, should naturally learn these martial arts by hand.
Even if there is an unwritten saying in wulin that "the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin", from the bright side, where did the martial arts of the Qiaoyao Sect lose to the Shaolin Sect? Not to mention that there were still martial arts texts hidden in the Lang Huan Fu Land, and if Xiao Yuanshan went there, he was afraid that the martial arts had already reached the peak.

Of course, this can be explained by "he doesn't know about the existence of the Qiaoyao Sect", but later when Su Xinghe laid down the Zhenlong chess game, he could try to break the game, and even with his skills, it was also feasible to directly kill Su Xinghe and enter the secret room to force Wuyazi to pass on the gong.
Obviously, Xiao Yuanshan was not unable to steal the martial arts of the Qiaoyao Sect, but he did not think about it, as for the reason, Xiao Feng was very clear.
Third, the heart of revenge
For Xiao Yuanshan, the person who kept speaking to empress dowager Liao in order to maintain the peace of Song and Liao died at the moment of jumping off a cliff in despair, and later he was lucky enough to survive, and he had completely become an avenger, and he only wanted to take revenge on the Central Plains heroes of that year.
During the Battle of Shaomu Mountain, Xiao Yuanshan appeared, and he explained to Xiao Feng the reason why he had been lurking in the Shaolin Sect all these years.
The original said: "Back then, you Lao Tzu did not have the heart to seize the Shaolin Temple martial arts texts, but they wronged me." Good, good! Xiao Yuanshan did not do anything, and he did not stop, and people wronged me, so I did it for others to see. For the past thirty years, Xiao Yuanshan had hidden next to the Shaolin Temple, and had seen their martial arts texts to the fullest. Shaolin Temple monks, you have the ability to kill Xiao Yuanshan, otherwise Shaolin martial arts must flow into Daliao. You will ambush you again outside the Wild Goose Gate, but it will be too late. ”
At that time, Xiao Yuanshan could be said to be the ambassador of peace between Song and Liao, but he suffered the Yanmen Pass massacre and became a messenger of revenge, since Zhongyuan Qunxiong said that he had the heart to steal Shaolin martial arts secrets, then good, he really did as well as Zhongyuan Qunxiong thought, allowing others to misunderstand, he was bad and bad.
However, it is also sad to say, if Xiao Yuanshan stole the martial arts of the Qiaoyao Sect, at this time, no one in the martial forest could be an enemy of him, and he was only bent on revenge, stealing the martial arts of the Shaolin Sect, not only did the martial arts not progress, but because of the martial arts barrier, he fell ill, and it was really not worth the loss.
